AIDS is in living memory. It's only been 40-50 years since the start, number of deaths peaked in 1995. I meet gay people who remember their friends dying. You can talk to people who were diagnosed right at the beginning of the effective treatments, and weren't sure if the science would progress faster or the infection would.
You know who I almost never meet? Straight people who remember losing a brother, or an uncle, or a cousin.
